Ouch. As much as I like to see some late attacks having success, it`s not good when your rider then finishes 2nd.
Would have loved to have the British NC in my team next season.
Wonder if this changes my planning.  |

Awesome ride from Simon Yates to outsprint G and other actual sprinters. Can't wait to see what he'll do with stat gains next season, could be a real wildcard

No strong enough team able to control the late attacks usually results into a late attacker winning the race. Interesting and I belive that this is actually quite good if there is still some place for breakaway wins.

Woooh! Hivert, new French champion! And Viennet 2nd in the TT is OK.
Kennaugh also fought hard in the British NC. Not OK to miss out to some no-name nobody, but I can accept losing to Swifty. |

Nice to see the first rider from our team to be a factor in a RR, but with Porto and Berg's depth it was always ridiculous to imagine a podium..
Awesome to see daily reports on NC's, is it possible for someone to make a table or something in wich we could see what NC's have been raced and wich ones are yet to be raced?

'The group is slowly reduced to 15 riders, the strongest names dropped are  Costa, Costa,  Costa and Brandão.'
This sentence seriously deserves some prize. 
Nice to see both star riders Kritskiy and Machado winning their home jerseys. Will be really nice to see these special jerseys more often on pictures in the next season.

This is a list of all nationals needed to be raced, so if you compare to those already posted in "other races", you got the list, but will be obsolete very soon, so what is the use ?

Best season ever!
I've been aiming to take our home title since our first season in the MG, like 7-8 years ago. Next year we'll have Machado in red and green. Add that to our first success against relegation in the PT and this year becomes the pinnacle of our existence.
Thanks, Tamijo for the beautiful reports and that triple Costa line. Thanks Roman too for delivering this successful formula!

Awesome victory from Bennett. He and David have surprisingly similar puncheur stats and the same ACC so had no idea who would win, but what a victory Special win for us, seems Bennett loves to show up for the Kiwi crowds. Tour of Southland (or Gisborne again ) in PCT next year please?
Glad we didn't have a Porto-in-Portugal-long wait for our first true home NC win

Something that I thought might be interesting to look at. Below are the 10 fastest winning times from all the NC ITTs completed so far.
| 1 | Jerome Coppel | Festina - Dexia | 1h05'33 | | 2 | Taylor Phinney | RBC Pro Cycling | 1h06'44 | | 3 | Freddy Johansson | Spotify - Haglöfs | 1h06'52 | | 4 | Alexandor Cataford | RBC Pro Cycling | 1h07'00 | | 5 | Nelson Oliveira | Porto - Prio | 1h07'13 | | 6 | Dominique Cornu | Euskaltel | 1h07'23 | | 7 | Ahmad Arissol | Valio - DeLaval | 1h07'28 | | 8 | Daniel Turek | Moser - Sygic | 1h07'44 | | 9 | Silvan Dillier | Team UBS | 1h07'48 | | 10 | Luke Durbridge | Jayco - Cobra9 | 1h07'57 |
Despite the course not being exactly similar, this should be a good indicator for the WCs when all the NCs are concluded (although given this is PCM, it's very hard to set precedents). One clear front-runner so far but he's not starting the WC!

Interesting stuff, podium by Freddy would be something very special...espacially since Sweden is not even qualified for the ITT  |
